All Mech Upgrades in Lightyear Frontier & How to Unlock
The Mech Upgrade menu functions much like a skill tree, as you’ll need to unlock and complete the first tier of upgrades before moving on to the next. Each upgrade has particular resources and items you need to craft in order to unlock them, so the more you expand your farm with all available machines and crops, the easier it’ll be to achieve all of these upgrades.
These upgrades don’t just make crop-building easier,they’re also required to help restore every area of the map, which in turn unlocks new resources for you to make use of. So prioritize getting these unlocked as often as possible.
There are three categories of upgrades –Farming, Gathering, andTraversal. We’ve listed all of them below by category and tier, along with the necessary resources/items required to unlock.
